I can't be the oldest person here, can I? But I clearly recall saving up my allowance and buying "Greatest Hits of 1964". If I remember right, it had a little selection of Motown and lots of bubble-gum pop. I think my second was one of Peter Paul and Mary's, and soon it was Dylan, and then on down the road.

Older than me, but mine was a Greatest Hits, too. I forget the name, though I still have it (in storage); it has Delaney and Bonnie, Melanie, and Bread on it.

That and Diana Ross and the Supremes Greatest Hits were the two first albums I had on my own.

My best friend had the show album from Hair. We played it over and over in her basement in 6th grade.

Also I used to make tapes from the radio of my favorite songs, so I'd have mixes of things like Crocodile Rock.

I'm up there with you. With my very first earned cash I headed over to the local hi-fi shop (they didn't have mega stores like Tower in those days) and bought "Jazz Impressions of a Boy Named Charlie Brown" by The Vince Guaraldi Trio (1964), my initial jam heroes. After that it was all downhill with that evil rock music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-358CaFKeA

The Charlie Brown Suite was the only cd my kids would fall asleep too. I kept trying different music and nothing worked till Miles Davis Kind of Blue. One of them said "Hey this isn't Charlie Brown" but that was it.
